How are we supposed to pick this? It’s personal preference.

I don’t think we are picking anything, the OP simply wants to know what dial you would pick and why ? Might be gaining popular opinion and why people chose either colour ..

Off the wrist white dial looks better, on the wrist black dial looks better (with the black ceramic bezel). The older 116520 looks great with the white dial due to the stainless bezel. The white dial 116500 with the black ceramic bezel looks like an old bathroom scale. I can say that, I have a white dial

The 126 looks more refined than the 116 in both black or white dial. It’s a matter of preference..you can’t go wrong with either dial.
I prefer the black dial regardless of the series.. |

Can no longer keep count how many times I post what others seem to agree with as well: White 11, Black 12.
I went into detail in another post, but the effect the dial color has combined with the addition of the outer ring and thinner sub dials seems to enhance the black 12 but make the white 12 appear unbalanced. I will also say here as I have elsewhere; unless it's someone else's money and they are telling you what to do, buy what you like and want. |

The 116500LN (White) is the icon of modern Daytonas.
I can’t wait to get my 126500LN, however. I like white and black equally in new version. |

In my opinion, both the white and the black dial are fantastic; it really just depends on whether a person is going for a sportier look (white) or something a touch more elegant (black). The obvious solution is to own both!
As to the debate on the 11- or the 12-series: I preferred the previous model until I saw the new Daytonas in real life and tried them on. Now I find the 12-series to be slightly more appealing, although the older model is of course awesome as well.

To the OP's question though, I personally prefer the black dial.

Dude, no combo "wins", this is not a race. The majority may prefer the 116 white/126 black but as this an individual hobby, all that matters is that karleone or anybody else are happy with their choices.

The classic black dial for me.
As they always say in Roulette, always bet on black. |
